However, not every one of them is inhabited. Any finite number divided by infinity is as near nothing as makes no odds, so the average population of all the planets in the Universe can be said to be zero. From this it follows that the population of the whole Universe is also zero, and that any people you may meet from time to time are merely products of a deranged imagination.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34017</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[From the crown of his head to the sole of his foot, he is all mirth. -Much Ado about Nothing. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55432]]></link><description><![CDATA[From the crown of his head to the sole of his foot, he is all mirth. -Much Ado about Nothing.

And they are present in such a way that he not only conceives them through ideas, as we have before us those things which our minds remember, but he truly looks upon them and discerns them as things placed before him. And this foreknowledge is extended throughout the universe to every creature. We call predestination God's eternal decree, by which he determined with himself what he willed to become of each man. For all are not created in equal condition; rather, eternal life is foreordained for some, eternal damnation for others. Therefore, as any man has been created to one or the other of these ends, we speak of him as predestined to life or death.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7558</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This past weekend I really felt comfortable.

The apostle calls it the band of perfection; it is the old, and it is the new, and it is the great commandment, and it is all the commandments; for it is the fulfilling of the Law. It does the work of all the graces without any instrument but its own immediate virtue. For as the love of sin makes a man sin against all his own reason, and all the discourses of wisdom, and all the advices of his friends, and without temptation and without opportunity, so does the love of God: it makes a man chaste without the laborious arts of fasting and exterior disciplines, temperate in the midst of feasts, and is active enough to choose it without any intermedial appetites, and reaches at glory through the very heart of grace, without any other aims but those of love. It is a grace that loves God for Himself, and our neighbors for God. The consideration of God's goodness and bounty, the experience of those profitable and excellent emanations from Him, may be, and most commonly are, the first motive of our love; but when we are once entered, and have tasted the goodness of God, we love the spring for its own excellency, passing from passion to reason, from thanking to adoring, from sense to spirit, from considering ourselves to union with God: and this is the image and little representation of heaven; it is beatitude in picture, or rather the infancy and beginning of glory.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6897</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We don't want to score field goals when we can score touchdowns. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32175]]></link><description><![CDATA[We don't want to score field goals when we can score touchdowns.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32175</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Conscience is the mirror of our souls, which represents the errors of our lives in their full shape. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9819]]></link><description><![CDATA[Conscience is the mirror of our souls, which represents the errors of our lives in their full shape.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9819</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let our friends perish, provided that our enemies fall at the same time. [Lat., Pereant amici, dum una inimici intercidant.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13848]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let our friends perish, provided that our enemies fall at the same time. [Lat., Pereant amici, dum una inimici intercidant.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13848</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You shape your own destiny. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31468]]></link><description><![CDATA[You shape your own destiny.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31468</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Success is the progressive realization of predetermined, worthwhile, personal goals. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17633]]></link><description><![CDATA[Success is the progressive realization of predetermined, worthwhile, personal goals.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17633</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That is going to take me two-and-a-half hours - so instead of a nice meal I'm going to be stuck ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41907]]></link><description><![CDATA[That is going to take me two-and-a-half hours - so instead of a nice meal I'm going to be stuck with beans on toast.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41907</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is annoying to be honest to no purpose. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64572]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is annoying to be honest to no purpose.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64572</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nudity is the uniform of the other side... nudity is a shroud. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44705]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nudity is the uniform of the other side... nudity is a shroud.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44705</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Real generosity toward the future lies in giving all to the present. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17273]]></link><description><![CDATA[Real generosity toward the future lies in giving all to the present.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17273</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whose words all ears took captive. -All 's Well that Ends Well.
